Dog Sitting Richmond Hill

About: Hi there, my name is Ella☺️ I’m a responsible, attentive, and patient caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I take safety and routine very seriously and always follow owners’ instructions closely. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable approach and strong communication. I provide regular updates and photos, keep a clean and safe environment, and make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own routine. I’m especially mindful with shy, anxious, or senior pets, giving them the time and gentle attention they need. I’m also happy to learn each pet’s specific habits, feeding schedule, and potty routine to ensure consistency. I’m detail-oriented, dependable, and genuinely committed to providing loving care.🐾 I teach yoga and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around pet visits, feeding times, playtime, and potty breaks. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to give pets unrushed attention, follow their routines closely, and accommodate mid-day visits or extended stays when needed. I enjoy providing calm, attentive care and making sure each pet feels comfortable and well looked after. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all pet care instructions carefully, whether at your home or mine, and maintain a clean, secure environment at all times. For in-home visits, I make sure doors and windows are securely closed, pets are never left unattended in unsafe spaces, and their routine is followed closely to reduce stress. I also provide daily updates and photos so you can see that your pet is safe, happy, and cared for. If hosting pets in my home (boarding), I ensure the space is pet-friendly, calm, and comfortable, with separate areas for feeding, litter, and rest if needed. I supervise pets, keep hazardous items out of reach, and maintain a safe, hygienic environment.

About: Experienced dog owner with a well-trained, friendly Border Collie. I offer patient, attentive care tailored to your dog’s needs, puppies, seniors, and all in between! Pet care is part of my everyday life. I walk, play, and train my Border Collie daily, so adding another pup to the routine feels natural. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day, whether it’s for walks, feedings, or companionship. I provide a safe, comfortable environment for pets in my home. I have a fully carpeted, dedicated playroom designed for dog safety, plus a fully fenced backyard for exercise and fun. I ensure plenty of supervision, regular potty breaks, and lots of playtime to keep your dog happy and healthy while you’re away. If caring at your home, I follow your routines closely to provide familiar comfort and consistent care.

About: Growing up with dogs since age 12 gave me a foundation in canine behavior and care. I've developed my skills by regularly walking, feeding, and bathing friends' dogs, including Labs, Huskies, Golden Retrievers, and Border Collies. My athletic background makes me uniquely suited for high-energy breeds. I've successfully worked with reactive dogs who need focused, one-on-one attention during walks. My running ability allows me to provide the intensive exercise these dogs need when off-leash time isn't suitable. Recently certified in Pet First Aid through Canadian Red Cross (July 2025). I also share my home with two cats (ages 2.5 and 1.5), so I'm comfortable with multi-pet households. I understand that energetic breeds need both physical exhaustion and mental stimulation to be truly satisfied, and I incorporate both into every walk. As an incoming grad student with a flexible timetable, I'm building my pet care business around my academic schedule. Currently available weekday afternoons from 3 PM onwards, with excellent availability through August. Once the fall semester begins, I'll maintain afternoon availability and may add morning slots depending on my class schedule. I'm committed to maintaining regular walking schedules with my clients and will provide advance notice of any schedule changes. Pet care fits perfectly with my lifestyle as an active person who needs daily exercise myself. Walking dogs isn't just a job for me, it's part of my daily fitness routine, which means your dog gets an enthusiastic, energetic walker every single time I focus exclusively on professional dog walking services to ensure each dog receives my full attention and the best possible care. During walks, I: - Keep dogs securely leashed unless in designated off-leash areas (with owner permission) - Carry Pet First Aid supplies and fresh water - Avoid busy roads when possible, preferring quieter residential streets and trails - Never walk more dogs than I can safely control - Send photo updates so you can see your pup having fun I maintain constant vigilance for potential hazards like aggressive dogs, traffic, or items dogs might ingest. With my Pet First Aid certification, I'm prepared to handle emergencies while immediately contacting both the owner and nearest vet if needed. My athletic ability ensures I can maintain control even with strong, excitable dogs, keeping your pet safe throughout our time together.

I have experience caring for my 9-year-old cat, including feeding, maintaining a consistent routine, cleaning the litter box, grooming, and monitoring overall health and behavior.

I am still fully available for cat boarding during these days (their routine, meals, and morning/evening litter scoops won't change!), but my availability for dog walking is limited to early mornings or evenings My home is a quiet, low-stress sanctuary. Because I only walk dogs outside and never board them, your cat will enjoy total peace and quiet. The dedicated spare room is completely safe and deeply cleaned and sanitized with pet-safe disinfectants. You will receive daily photo or video updates along with a quick note on how your pet is eating, playing, and relaxing.

“This was just a quick one day visit but Tatiana was great! She followed all of the instructions I left for my 3 cats in terms of their different feeding and food requirements (picky cats).”

“I highly recommend Joey as a cat sitter! Joey took wonderful care of my cat, Nala, for six days, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. From the start, Joey was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about Nala's well-being. While I was away, Joey made sure Nala was well-fed, comfortable, and received plenty of attention. I appreciated the updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing that Nala was happy and in good hands. When I returned home, Nala was relaxed, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Joey is trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. I would not hesitate to book Joey again and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.”
